People often say that first love is the purest. For some, it’s just a nice memory, but for others, it becomes a lifelong relationship. No matter what happens, stories about first love are always interesting.
1. The Joke That Almost Cost Me My First Love
I was in love with my classmate but never had the courage to tell her. Instead, I teased her. On graduation day, I made a stupid joke that hurt her. Years passed—I moved away, dated others, but no one felt right.
At our reunion five years later, I saw her again. She looked even more beautiful. Without thinking, I proposed in front of everyone. She said yes. Turns out, she had loved me too.
Now, ten years of marriage and two kids later, I only regret the years we lost pretending we didn’t care.
2. The Bus Ride That Changed Everything
I used to take the same bus every morning in college. There was a girl who always sat by the window, reading. One day, I gathered courage and asked what she was reading. That conversation became a ritual.
When she didn’t show up one week, I realized how much she meant to me. I found her near the library, studying late. I brought her coffee—and we never stopped talking after that.
Today, she’s my wife. We still take bus rides together just for old times’ sake.
3. Love in the Library
She worked at the campus library. I kept borrowing books I didn’t even read—just to see her smile when she stamped the return slip. One day, I accidentally left my notebook behind. She returned it with a note inside: “You could just ask me out, you know.”
That’s how our story began. We built a life together—two kids, one chaotic home, and countless books later.
Every time I see a library card, I remember the girl who turned a quiet place into the start of my forever.
4. The Missed Call That Found Me Love
I got a random call one night—it was a girl who dialed the wrong number. We ended up talking for an hour. Then another day. Then every day. I didn’t even know what she looked like, but I was already falling for her voice.
Months later, we met in person. It felt like I had known her forever.
That “wrong number” turned out to be my right person. We’re still together after fifteen years.
5. The Rain That Brought Us Together
It was pouring, and everyone ran for shelter—except her. She danced in the rain, laughing, drenched from head to toe. I offered her my umbrella, and she said, “Keep it. You look like you need to dance too.”
We spent an hour talking under that storm. I never forgot her joy.
Years later, we got married on a rainy day—by choice. Every time it rains now, we remember where it all began.
6. The Letter I Never Sent
In high school, I wrote her a love letter but never gave it to her. I was too afraid. Years later, while helping my parents move, I found it again. I smiled—and decided to finally send it through social media.
She replied an hour later: “I waited for that letter for years.”
We met the next day, laughed, cried, and started where we left off. Some love letters just take the scenic route.
7. The Dance We Never Planned
At the school farewell party, I stood awkwardly near the wall. Then she walked up and said, “You can either keep staring or ask me to dance.”
That single dance changed everything. We lost touch for a while after graduation, but fate brought us back years later at a friend’s wedding.
We danced again that night—and haven’t stopped since.
8. The Lost Wallet and Found Heart
I lost my wallet at a café near campus. A week later, a girl showed up at my dorm with it. She said she found it under her table. We talked, and I asked her how she knew it was mine.
She smiled, “Because of the photo inside—you smiling with that same confused face.”
We went for coffee again that evening. The next time, it wasn’t about the wallet. It was about us.
9. The Sketchbook Secret
I used to draw her in my sketchbook when she wasn’t looking—her smile, her hair, her laugh. One day, I left the book in class by mistake.
She returned it the next day, saying softly, “You forgot this, artist.” Then she added, “Page 42 is my favorite.” That page was a sketch of her.
That’s how she told me she liked me too. Years later, she framed that drawing—it now hangs in our living room.
10. The Reunion Confession
In college, I had a best friend—funny, kind, always there. I liked her but never said it because I didn’t want to lose the friendship. After graduation, we drifted apart.
At our ten-year reunion, she hugged me and said, “You still didn’t tell me, did you?”
I was shocked. “Tell you what?”
“That you loved me,” she smiled.
We’ve been married five years now. Sometimes silence really is just love waiting for courage.
